A petition seeking the removal of Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang from office has been dismissed after the Chief Justice determined that no prima facie case had been established to warrant further investigation.

The decision was announced in a statement issued by the Presidency Communications on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

According to the statement, the decision followed the conclusion of a preliminary inquiry by the Chief Justice into a petition submitted by one Mr Edward Adeti against Justice Pwamang.

The Chief Justice determined that the petition did not establish a prima facie case to warrant further investigation, in accordance with Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution.

Consequently, the constitutional threshold for initiating further proceedings has not been met, and no further action is required in respect of the petition.

“The matter is accordingly considered closed,” the statement said.

The Presidency further assured the public that the matter had been handled in accordance with the applicable constitutional procedures and the principles of due process.

The statement was signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister for Government Communications and Spokesperson to the President.
